I remember them from the very late 80's, they were little gummy root beer flavored chewies in the shape of a soda bottle. I don't remember if they were marketed by Coke or not, but they were a HUGE fad when I was in 1st grade.

The following are links about Gummi Colas [?] you may find interesting. Also check out the other =Food of the 80s?> pages.

We absolutely LOVED to get these from a little bookshop in Belgium where you could buy pieces of candies and bag and pay for them at the counter. The best was when they had the sour ones - coated in a fizzy sugar!

When I go to the movies, I usually stop at one of those bulk candy places in my local mall and they have the gummi cola bottles from Haribo. SO good! I love 'em (along with gummi peaches and pineapple). I never saw or tried sour ones with sugar-salt on them, but that sounds amazing Sharon!
